Discrimination in Business and Technology

A female Microsoft employee has filed a lawsuit alleging discrimination she experienced in the workplace. She alleges that she was subjected to discrimination based on her gender, race, and age. Though this particular female employee was Hispanic in a work environment consisting of engineers of East Indian descent, discrimination based on race can happen to anyone of any race. Racial discrimination can even occur within large corporations.

The different treatment towards her began in an environment that was not supportive of female employees and consisted largely of male engineers, according to her allegations. This female employee alleges she was intimidated, excluded from internal communications, and blamed for situations outside of her responsibility. Reporting the incidents to her boss did nothing, as he was facilitating the discrimination according to the female employee. Upon bringing these issues to Microsoft’s human-resources department, the female employee says she did not find support there when filing a formal complaint. Her hopes are not only to obtain compensation for lost wages, damages, and attorney’s fees, but also that the human-resources department’s practices will be audited and that employees associated with Microsoft receive training on discrimination, hostile work environments, and retaliation. The information provided is based on the allegations and the article linked below. Bullman Law Firm / Attorney For Workers takes no position on whether the allegations in this case have merit or not.
